A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966380B2) discloses a computer-implemented method that involves initializing obfuscated portions to random bit values, distributing bits of a data item among these obfuscated portions, and distributing them from a source computer to multiple servers. Each server stores a respective obfuscated portion, and communication between the source computer and servers occurs through parallel request-response operations. The method also includes distributing query vectors to servers to identify a sub-portion of the data item and determining its value using query result vectors received from the servers. Additionally, the patent covers updating rows of the data item by computing update delta values and distributing update messages to servers to modify the stored obfuscated portions accordingly.

Furthermore, the patent extends to a system and a storage device that implement the method described above. The system comprises computer processors and hardware storage devices that initialize obfuscated portions, distribute data item bits among them, and communicate with servers using parallel request-response operations. It also includes distributing query vectors, determining sub-portion values, and updating data item rows through update messages. Similarly, the storage device stores instructions that, when executed by computer processors, perform actions related to initializing obfuscated portions, distributing data item bits, and communicating with servers. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to handling data distribution and manipulation in a secure and efficient manner, emphasizing the importance of obfuscation and parallel processing in the context of server communication and data updates.
